What's wrong with onboard sound? I think it's better than Off-board sound.

My Lite-On (generic brand) got DVD's and CD's read and wrote with decent speeds. Also, there was one corrupt disk out of 116. Tell me, is generic really that bad?

It's not totally great, it's on the generic side of things...

I've used one of them...it all sounds the same. Realtek is better than Creative Labs, so I have no need for a POS sound card...

Don't really game a lot...just BF2, Sims 2 + all EP's, the Movies, Total Overdose, GTA San Andreas, other games like that...I think 1GB is good enough for my needs...
